Years: 422 - 422
The emperor has, however, inspired his generals to repel the Persian invasions of 421 and 422.
He issues a law on March 3 to form provisions in peacetime.
He instructs landowners leasing towers in the Theodosian Walls to assist with the buildup of emergency goods.
The emperor pays a annual tribute of three hundred and fifty pounds of gold to the Huns in order to buy peace.
Theodosius II receives a statue at Hebdomon, a military parade ground on the shores of the Propontis, just outside Constantinople.
On its base (fragments are now in the Istanbul Archaeology Museum), an inscription praises him as “everywhere and forever victorious.”
